...sunshine?!!

...nice to see life 'OUTSIDE' again!Last Sunday (2-1), our temperature actually exceeded 20°, but more importantly we had glimpses of the SUN!!! This photo was taken of the hill next to our house, after a l-o-n-g day of kids (BIG and small) at play...

I went to several thrifts this past week, and these two FUN! retro mugs were the only things I dragged home. They do make me smile, but alas, my mug shelf is full and these will be going to e-bay!

Anyone for a new meme?? This one has a new twist, and I thought I would give it a try! I was drooling over Leanne's latest pottery creations at PAINTER GIRLS' blog and decided to take part. I adore Leanne's work, and this sounded like Lot's-O-Fun!The first 5 people that respond to this post will get something made by me, it will be my choice, but made especially for you. (I was thinking of changing this to a 'stuff/junk' package, but decided the 'hand-made' requirement might actually motivate me to learning that 'soldering' skill that I have been so scared of!!)However...this offer does have some restrictions and limitations (the fine print!!):-What I create will be just for you.-I will make no guarantees that you will like it (but I hope you do !)-You will receive this item before the end of the year (or sooner).-You will have no idea of what the item is going to be or when you will receive it.The catch is that you have to repost this "MEME" and put together something to be sent out as 5 surprises of your own.These could be anything...a piece of art, a photo, a poem or haiku, a quote...whatever you like, let your imagination run wild.

Call me crazy, but I think this just may be the inspiration I need in this dark month of February!!

Want it... NOW!?
